I love studying viral content. I think it's fascinating how ideas take hold (and fast!). The red paper clip was a great example. I remember that happening before "going viral" was as ubiquitous as it is now. December 26, 2009

Thanks so much! I don't have an iPhone but I help a bar in NYC with their SEO and the owner is really adament about taking over the campaign soon (saving money for himself- makes sense!). I'll definitely pass these on to him :)

Great post with the screenshots. I've never used it first hand but it seems like an interesting search engine. It makes me wonder how much those searches would cut out traffic to the lower ranking sites though.

Thank you for this post! I've had the same issue with clients thinking they are in the number one spot when they're really on page 2 or 3. Try explaining the intricacies of personalized search, locations, etc. after that realization hits. It's a nightmare lol.

Thanks for the post, I loved it (and how it was written). I'm a Gen-Yer too and love how naturally this stuff comes to us. It's like we're genetically egineered to be Social Media Marketers! Lol.December 26, 2009

Thanks for the tips, the awards suggestion is great. I'm thinking of trying that for my own site. Something like weekly picks for the "best SEO posts" or something similar would be a good way to link to other people for a beneficial linking relationship for everyone.

A question about Vimeo that Marco mentioned- I have issues with links and videos too. Is anyone else having an issue? I know SEOmoz uses it successfully but it never seems to upload correctly for me so I stick to the tried and true YouTube. Suggestions?

I agree completely! It's just like getting a recommendation from a person. You're going to put more weight on an expert with a great reputation rather than some guy on the street. It makes sense that Google does things the same way.

I just wrote a blog about this too, it's funny how many people don't even think about it!
